Parker said the arrests solved eight cases in Lumberton, one in Robeson County, one in Fayetteville, and five in Hoke County.

According to Parker, the three men were arrested after a patrol officer spotted them in a blue 1996 Honda Civic that had been labeled “suspicious.” Parker said the officer found a wallet that belongs to a resident in the Mayfair community and determined through an investigation that person’s vehicle had been broken into.

Parker said investigators found more stolen property in the car and other stolen items at a home on Lee Circle in Lumberton.

“We recovered three or four military duffel bags, backpacks, military uniforms … ,” Parker said. “There was a laptop belonging to someone from the military whose car was broken into … literally there was a truckload.”

Also found were 10 to 12 GPS units, cellphones, iPods, cameras and binoculars, he said.

Parker said the Honda belongs to a woman who owns the home on Lee Circle.

“She loaned the car to one of the men in the group,” he said.

Parker did not want to release the woman’s name, but said she has not been charged with any crimes.
